About
I work at the intersection of brand and demand, helping teams walk the tightrope of building demand for the future and hitting this quarter's target. With 6 years of experience across B2B, EdTech, and early-stage startups, I’ve learned that the bottleneck to growth is often inconsistent positioning, weak measurement, or broken conversion paths.
